Fertility 2.0 - Black Rock City is a kind of Petri dish. Theme camps cling in fertile clusters to its latticework of streets, artworks tumble out of it, like pollen on the air. These nodes of interaction mutate, grow and reproduce their kind. Burning Man communities have now escaped this capsule world: our culture in a Petri dish has effloresced - it spreads across five continents. This year's art theme contemplates the tendency of any being or living system to create abundant life.

You were all wrong! None of you got a single one right! I would also say that almost every one of your ePlayan ideas was more inspired than what we ended up with. Has the B'Morg lost it's balls? Certainly looks that way.....at least the C street could have been Cannibus....crikey, am I going to Disneyland????

RIGHT?! For a year with peak theme camp fragmentation, that's a shit ton of reserved areas.

Possibly due to so many theme camps being "registered" for this year in attempt at directed distribution tickets?

They have managed to make the reserved areas look like petals. 5 yrs olds taking over BMorg's creative department?

They should that place is gross.And sorry you feel it is "attention whoring" This is just how I feel about the name and why. Geesh.

And yeah guess it does play with the bee theme. So would that make Larry the queen bee and all of us workers? Buzzzzz

maladroit- Burning Man is like a second job, except you pay to work there.Burning Man is just the pre party for exodus! - fellow burner during exodus

I'd have rather enjoyed "ammonia, biomass, compost, dirt..." Oh, well. I imagine I"ll mostly just refer to them all by the letters anyway, rather than memorize an alphabetical series of apparently random flower names. Or maybe I'll learn the "asshole, balls, cock..." series that y'all seem to use.

Hmmm... there's a mischievous imp telling me what fun it would be to replace the all flower names on the street signs with corresponding flower pictures. People who can identify flowers on sight would suddenly become very popular

Random aside: I loathe begonias and geraniums (not for any deep reasons -- I just think they're gross). Why not buttercup and goldenrod?

If you want drama to stop following you everywhere, try letting go of the leash.
